Re: Problem chelating

[Guest guest]

some thoughts Sunny

as i understand it, elimination of mercury is primarily through kidneys

i have been chelating for 10 months and i still go through periods

(when i increase a dose of chelators), where i am up a couple of times

to urinate. I know its annoying but i think just a function of kidneys

dumping toxins

has provided me with a kidney support herb its called

Chanca Piedra and it seems to help a little. You may be able to order

it from another health care provider

also you may want to try some other treatments to help you sleep or get

back to sleep including klonoprin/ambien/melatonin and for me taking

hydrocortisone at night for adrenals (if adrenals are a problem) also

seemed to calm be down through the night (ie and help with sleep or

getting back to sleep)

For kidney/ bladder support , I really like nettle tea. Alot of

health food stores carry it . It tastes rather soothing and it

is wonderful for calming the kidneys . If you need to rotate

herbs , chrysanthemum tea is also good.

I figure it is good to always be taking once you are prone to

kidney problems as during chelation with the DMSA they are apt

to get stressed. I find now I now ahead of time that my

kidneys are starting to bother me. I get more tired -- a

different sort of tired than when my liver is bothering me..

I also like to brew some in the morning and keep it in a

thermos for later .

Hi Sunny,

If you are producing also a lot of urine, that is likely to be a

pituitary problem. The pituitary gland produces a hormone

-vasopressin- which tells your kidneys to concentrate urine. Often the

pituitary gland does not work properly due to mercury toxicity. The

condition is called diabetes insipidus.

ALA chelation should improve this condition. I suffered it before and

now the problem seems to be fixed, but you have to be patient.

Hope this helps,

Cutler suggests carbamazepime and desmopressin.

Beware because carbamazepime reduces copper excretion so probably

desmopressin is the right choice for you. You will need a prescription.

I am sorry I have no experience using these substances.

Hope this helps,

P.S.: Have you tested for copper toxicity?

, I'm glad to hear its better for you, I've had this problem for many

years now, haven't gotten a chance to start chelation yet, so am hoping I can

resolve it at some point! And I know you are correct about the diabetes

insipidus, I'd learned about that also.

Thanks, for the input!!!

Yes, my doctor did my hair analysis through ARL lab.

Thanks,

Hi Sunny

Frequent urination can also be a sign of adrenal stress. If the

DMSA / ALA dose is too high it can stress the adrenals and cause

frequent urination. Have you tested your adrenals with a saliva

test? It might be worth doing this and if necessary getting on some

adrenal support in order to continue chelating.

For me, taking in more electrolytes reduced the frequent urination. I

still make too much urine, but not nearly as much as before.

I increased the salt intake both by salting my food well and drinking

electrolyte mixtures. You can find recipes in archives.
